Be careful what you wish for A man was sick of going to work everyday while his wife stayed at home. He wanted her to see what he went through. So he prayed, "Dear Lord, I go to work everyday and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please create a trade in our bodies." God in his infinite wisdom granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough the man awoke as a woman. He rose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw out money to pay to the power bill and telephone bill, drove to the power company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1.00 PM and he hurried to make the beds, do laundry, vacuum, dust and sweep and mop the floor. He ran to school to pick the kids and got into an argument with one them on the way home. He set out the cookies and milk and got the kids ready to do their homework, then set the ironing board and watched T V while he did the ironing. At 4.30 PM he began peeling potatoes and washed the greens for salads breaded the chops and snapped the fresh peas for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded the laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9.00 PM he was exhausted and though his chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, "Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay at home all day. Please, O please, let us trade back." The Lord, in His infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were, but you will have to wait 9 months though. You got pregnant last night"! Sugar Syl Says: The kindness you spread today will be gathered up and returned to you tomorrow.
